In November 1974, a quiet town in northeastern Pennsylvania became the center of one of the most unusual UFO reports of the decade. Witnesses described a glowing object descending into a mining pond, police responded to the scene, and by morning thousands had gathered to see what was happening.

Known as “Fire in the Pond,” the Carbondale UFO incident remains one of the most debated cases of the 1970s UFO wave.

In this episode, we examine the timeline, the witnesses, the investigation, and the explanation that followed — before deciding whether this is a mostly true alien story or not.

In 1967, Betty Andreasson claimed five beings entered her Massachusetts home without opening the door.

Her family reportedly froze in place. She described missing time, an egg-shaped craft, symbolic visions, and a message that felt more spiritual than extraterrestrial.

Years later, hypnosis sessions uncovered details that blurred the line between alien encounter and religious experience.

This episode explores:
 – The timeline of events
 – The role of hypnosis in abduction cases
 – The influence of belief systems on encounter narratives
 – And whether spiritual symbolism strengthens or weakens credibility

Was Betty taken aboard a craft… or was something else happening entirely?

We weigh the evidence and decide.

She wasn’t taken against her will.
She didn’t describe fear, paralysis, or missing time.
She described love.

In this episode, we explore Klarer’s claim of a long-term relationship with a being named Akon, her alleged travels aboard a craft known as the “Silver Star,” and the extraordinary personal and scientific explanations she offered to support her experience.

We also examine why this story emerged when it did, how it was received by researchers, and what it reveals about the early contact era of UFO history — when encounters were often framed as instructional, romantic, or spiritual rather than threatening.

A strange case.
A deeply human story.
And one of the most debated encounters we’ve ever covered.

In 1959, a group of missionaries in Papua New Guinea witnessed a strange aerial object hovering above their station in broad daylight. What followed was hours of observation, multiple witnesses, and reports that would later be taken seriously by investigators around the world.

This episode examines the Father Gill UFO encounter — one of the rare cases involving sustained observation, group testimony, and detailed documentation.

We explore what was reported, how skeptics responded, and why this case continues to be cited as one of the strongest multi-witness UFO encounters on record.

Is this a mostly true alien story… or something else entirely?

In 1964, a police officer in Socorro, New Mexico reported encountering a landed craft, two small humanoid figures, and a liftoff that left physical traces behind. Within hours, military and federal investigators arrived—and the case quickly became one of Project Blue Book’s most puzzling files.

This episode explores the full account of the Lonnie Zamora incident, the evidence documented at the scene, the official explanations that followed, and why none of them fully resolved what happened in the desert that evening. We break down what makes this encounter different from so many others, why Zamora’s credibility mattered, and why the case remains officially unexplained decades later.

In 1966, a quiet school morning outside Melbourne turned into one of the most astonishing UFO events ever reported.

Students, teachers, and nearby residents watched a strange object descend, hover, and depart vertically at incredible speed. Military aircraft followed. Armed personnel arrived. Witnesses were questioned. Then — silence.

In this episode, we examine the Westall UFO Incident in full: the timeline, the witnesses, the military response, and the long-term impact of a case that never received a satisfactory explanation.After reviewing the facts, we weigh in and ask the question that defines this show:

Is this a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

In October 1967, something entered the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia — witnessed by civilians, confirmed by police, and investigated by the Canadian military.

No wreckage was found.
No aircraft was missing.
And the event was officially logged as unexplained.

The Shag Harbor Incident remains one of the few UFO cases acknowledged by a national government and quietly archived without resolution.

In this episode, we break down the original witness reports, the military response, the sonar tracking beneath the water, and the later theories that may have altered how the story is remembered.

Then we weigh in.

Is Shag Harbor a mostly true alien story — or something else entirely?

In 1983, a suburban Indiana woman reported a terrifying nighttime encounter involving a hovering craft, a blue beam, physical injuries, and missing time. The incident—known as the Copley Woods Encounter—became one of the most famous alien abduction cases in history.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we revisit the case with special guest Matthew S. Williams, space journalist and science communicator, to break down what happened—and what might explain it.

We explore eyewitness testimony, physical evidence, hypnotic regression, and scientific alternatives, before reaching a rare unanimous verdict.

Is the Copley Woods Incident a legitimate alien encounter… or a powerful example of how belief, fear, and unexplained events collide?

For centuries, stories of Santa Claus have shared striking similarities across cultures:
a mysterious nighttime visitor, traveling through the sky, appearing during the winter solstice, watching homes, and leaving gifts behind.

In this special Christmas episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we explore the origins of Santa far beyond modern holiday tradition — examining ancient folklore, historical accounts of sky visitors, glowing aerial phenomena, and winter encounters reported long before Santa became a commercial icon.

From Lapland to Scandinavia, medieval Europe to modern radar reports, we follow a trail of stories that suggest Santa may be more than a myth — and possibly a cultural memory shaped by real encounters in the sky.

One host argues Santa’s origins point toward something otherworldly.
The other believes the explanation lies in the supernatural and human storytelling.

So what’s the truth?

Is Santa simply a symbol of the season…or one of humanity’s oldest unresolved mysteries? 🎄👽

Listen now and decide for yourself whether this is a Mostly True Alien Story… or not.

The Paul Bennewitz Deception is one of the darkest and most important stories in UFO history — and it has nothing to do with aliens.

In the late 1970s, engineer Paul Bennewitz began recording strange lights and radio signals near Kirtland Air Force Base. Instead of telling him the truth, government officials fed him false alien narratives to conceal classified military programs.

Over time, those lies destroyed Bennewitz’s mental health and helped seed many of the UFO myths still circulating today — including underground bases, alien treaties, and secret wars.

In this episode, we examine:

• What Bennewitz actually uncovered
• How disinformation campaigns operate
• The ethical cost of government secrecy
• Why real UFO cases are harder to separate from fiction

This is a story about manipulation, trust, and how easily truth can be buried.

Is this a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

In August 1993, a quiet rural road outside Melbourne became the center of one of Australia’s most debated UFO encounters. Multiple drivers reported the same massive craft, the same blinding flash, the same missing time, and similar physical effects — yet their stories don’t perfectly align.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal and Andrew examine the entire Kelly Cahill case from start to finish.
We explore:

• What each witness claimed to see
 • The reported physical injuries and triangle mark
 • Car engine failures and electromagnetic oddities
 • Humanoid figures with glowing red eyes
 • Why the witnesses didn’t come forward at the same time
 • The inconsistencies that challenge the case
 • And whether the evidence supports a real encounter — or a constructed narrative

Andrew delivers a detailed breakdown of the research surrounding Cahill’s book Encounter, the timeline of events, and the shifting details that raise red flags. Neal weighs the emotional and psychological components that make this case so enduring — and so divisive.

This is one of Australia’s most cited UFO encounters… but does it hold up?

Listen now and decide: Is the Kelly Cahill encounter a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

In 1965, a massive glowing fireball streaked across the sky over South Africa’s Karoo region — zig-zagging, stopping, crackling, and disappearing in a burst of light and sulfur. Two months later, a nearly identical object crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, prompting military retrievals, sealed reports, and decades of speculation.

Are these events connected?

Were they meteors, Cold War rocket failures… or something the public was never meant to see twice?

This week, Neal and Andrew are joined by South African explorers Roland Gaspar and Frank Martins (The Adventure Guys) to investigate the Craddock Fireball and its possible relationship to the Kecksburg UFO crash.

Together, they explore:

• Eyewitness accounts from Craddock/Nwoba
• Why the fireball’s behavior defied typical meteor physics
• Secret South African radar installations & Cold War weapons programs
• Kecksburg’s acorn-shaped craft & military lockdown
• Theories involving Soviet capsules, GE reentry vehicles, and even the Nazi Bell
• Why both events were immediately labeled “meteors”… despite contradictions
• And whether this is a Mostly True Alien Story — or something else entirely

This is one of the most unique cross-continental UFO stories we’ve ever covered.

Listen now and decide for yourself.

In this episode, MTAS breaks down the new documentary The Age of Disclosure — including claims of crash retrievals, defense contractors hiding non-human tech, nuclear missile shutdowns, warp bubble propulsion, and whistleblowers risking everything to speak out. Neal and Andrew analyze each claim, weigh what holds up, and decide whether the documentary actually moves Disclosure forward or not.

In 1957, a man calling himself Valiant Thor reportedly appeared in Virginia, entered the Pentagon without identification, met U.S. military leaders, and even sat down with President Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.

His message: Stop nuclear weapons. Unite the planet. Join a higher interplanetary community.

He supposedly lived inside the Pentagon for three years, wore an indestructible suit, and claimed to come from Venus — not the surface, but a civilization beneath it. The story spread through UFO circles, contactee movements, Cold War anxieties, and eventually became a foundational piece of 1960s UFO mythology.

In this episode, Neal and Andrew break down:

• Where the Valiant Thor legend came from
• Why it became so influential
• Whether the evidence holds up
• The role of 1950s fear, religion, and UFO culture
• The controversial evangelist who kept the story alive
• And the big question: If Thor never existed, why has this story lasted nearly 70 years?

Stay to the end for the MTAS verdict:  Is the Valiant Thor encounter “mostly true,” or not?

In January 1996, three teenage girls in the quiet Brazilian city of Varginha reported seeing a strange creature crouched in an alley — brown, oily skin, red eyes, and a head too large for its body. Within hours, the military rolled in, witnesses claimed a crash outside town, and a young soldier allegedly died after contact with “the being.”

Neal and Andrew dig into Brazil’s most famous UFO case — from the alleged crash site and witness statements to government cover-ups, secret autopsies, and new testimony revealed in James Fox’s Moment of Contact.

Was it a true alien encounter, a military accident, or a case of small-town hysteria?
Listen as the hosts weigh the evidence and decide:
Is this a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

October 12, 1963 — a truck driver named Eugenio Douglas crashes on a dark rural road in Argentina… and claims two ten-foot-tall figures stepped out of a glowing craft. He fired his revolver — and the bullets bounced off metal. Moments later, beams of light burned his skin. By dawn, police found melted asphalt, scorched fields, and footprints two feet long.

This is the Eugenio Douglas Encounter — one of the most shocking UFO reports in South American history.
 
Neal and Andrew investigate the evidence, the doctor’s report, and the bizarre connection to Argentina’s “Trancas Incident” just nine days later.

Before the Buga Sphere captured headlines in 2025, there was another — a sphere that rolled on its own, hummed to music, and left scientists speechless. In 1974, the Betz family of Florida found a metallic orb that defied physics and baffled the Navy.
It disappeared soon after — and the mystery never died.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal and Andrew uncover the strange parallels between The Betz Sphere and today’s Buga Sphere, exploring whether history’s weirdest artifact has finally come full circle. Was it alien tech… or just another perfectly round problem?

🎙️ Listen now and decide for yourself — mostly true, or not.

In 1969, man stepped onto the Moon.
But what if we weren’t the first ones there?

This episode of Mostly True Alien Stories goes beyond the landing to explore strange claims about the Moon’s true nature — from hollow-Moon theories and alleged alien bases to why scientists once said the Moon “rang like a bell.” Joined by returning guest Don Sill (Phoenix Lights Episode), Neal and Andrew debate everything from NASA conspiracies to China’s new Moon missions. Is it science… or something else entirely?

In 1977, northern Brazil’s villagers reported glowing discs firing beams that paralyzed and burned — leaving victims drained of blood.

The government called it Operation Prato — a secret military investigation into hundreds of encounters that remains classified to this day.

Neal and Andrew break down one of the strangest, most terrifying UFO stories ever documented.

Was it alien contact, covert tech, or mass hysteria?
You decide.

In 1947, the U.S. Army announced it recovered a “flying disc.” 24 hours later, that same disc became a weather balloon — and the greatest UFO mystery in history was born. Actor Geoffrey Cantor (Marvel’s Daredevil & The Punisher) joins Neal and Andrew to break down what really crashed in Roswell: alien craft or Cold War tech gone wrong?

Featuring first-hand reports, government contradictions, and the stories that shaped every UFO myth that followed.

 Is The Roswell Incident a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

In the 1950s, Lieutenant Colonel Richard French was one of the U.S. Air Force’s top investigators for Project Blue Book — the program designed to debunk UFO sightings. His orders were clear: explain everything away.

But during an assignment in Newfoundland, French said he witnessed something he couldn’t dismiss: two saucer-shaped craft submerged beneath the water, with small gray beings repairing them. The story stayed buried for decades until 2013, when French — then 83 years old — told the world at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, D.C.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana dig into French’s shocking testimony, the credibility of a man once called “the King of Debunking,” and whether this underwater UFO encounter holds up to scrutiny.

Is this the confession of a whistleblower… or just another tall tale?

Two military friends went camping in Devil’s Den State Park and woke up miles away — dehydrated, disoriented, and missing hours of time. Decades later, an X-ray revealed a metallic implant buried in one man’s leg, turning a strange memory into one of the most disturbing abduction stories on record.

In this episode, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana examine the chilling 1977 Devil’s Den case, its psychological aftermath, and what it reveals about government secrecy and alien encounters.

Then, the Pentyrch UFO Incident of 2016, where witnesses claimed to see a massive pyramid-shaped craft pursued by military jets over Wales. 

Explosions, paralysis, and whispers of a cover-up fuel one of the UK’s most dramatic UFO cases.

Was it alien contact, a secret military test, or the biggest UFO cover-up in Britain’s history? As always, Neal and Andrew weigh in: is this a mostly true alien story or not?

In December 1980, something strange happened in the woods of Suffolk, England.

Military personnel from RAF Woodbridge and Bentwaters reported lights in the sky, a glowing craft, radiation readings on the ground — and even binary codes delivered in a soldier’s mind.

It’s been called Britain’s Roswell, and it remains one of the most credible UFO cases in history.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana break down:

• A quick take on the 3i/Atlas - is it a mothership?
• The original reports from U.S. Air Force servicemen in Rendlesham Forest
• Deputy Commander Charles Halt’s famous audio recording
• The physical evidence left behind — radiation, landing marks, and broken branches
• The mysterious binary code message received by Sgt. Jim Penniston
• Theories ranging from misidentified lighthouses… to extraterrestrial contact

In 1989, the quiet Russian city of Voronezh became ground zero for one of the most bizarre UFO encounters ever reported.

Hundreds of witnesses — including schoolchildren, local residents, and even a police officer — claimed to have seen a massive spacecraft descend into a park. From it emerged a nine-foot-tall alien, accompanied by a strange robot, who terrified the crowd before vanishing just as suddenly.

What makes this case so extraordinary?

The story wasn’t confined to rumor — it was covered by official Soviet news agencies, complete with government acknowledgment, making the Voronezh Incident one of the most widely reported UFO events of the late Cold War era.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana break down:

• The eyewitness accounts from children and adults
• The role of Soviet media and why the government reported it
• The strange details about the alien and robot sighting
• How this case fits into the larger UFO narrative of the late 1980s

Finally, we weigh in: Is the Voronezh Incident a mostly true alien story… or not?

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana dive into The Friendship Case—one of the most mysterious and human alien contact stories of the last century.

In 1950s Italy, locals reported decades of contact with the W56, benevolent beings who looked human, dressed in slacks and sweaters, and arrived not in saucers… but in cars. They shared exotic fruit, preached unity, and claimed to be here for humanity’s evolution.

Joining the show is Sarah Starr, a Pleiadian starseed and Galactic Federation ambassador, who helps unpack the cosmic meaning behind this case. Together, they explore:

Did the W56 really live among us?

What role do emotions, ego, and human consciousness play in alien contact?

Is the Galactic Federation guiding humanity into a new era?

Project Serpo has fascinated alien truth seekers for decades. In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we explore the alleged alien exchange program involving 12 U.S. military volunteers.

We’re back with a brand-new season of Mostly True Alien Stories—and we’re launching with one of the strangest alien claims ever leaked: Project Serpo.

Did the U.S. government really send 12 military volunteers on a one-way trip to an alien planet? Was there a secret exchange program with beings from Zeta Reticuli? Or… is this just another elaborate sci-fi fantasy gone viral?

This week, we’re joined by Jason Rhodes, the mind behind Hallucination Hippies on TikTok, to dive into the myth, mystery, and mind-bending details of Project Serpo. From government secrecy and consciousness expansion to alien diplomacy and the role of belief in shaping the narrative—we're going deep on every angle.

In 1989, Linda Napolitano said she was abducted by aliens from her NYC apartment… and that two men — possibly connected to the U.N. — watched it happen.

Was it the most credible alien abduction in history… or one of the greatest hoaxes ever pulled?

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the bizarre case that became known as The Manhattan Abduction — a story that blends government secrecy, hypnosis, and a legal war against Netflix. Hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana dig into Budd Hopkins’ controversial investigation, analyze new witness reports, and question what really happened that night in the sky above Manhattan.

In 1964, Donald Shrum went bowhunting in the Tahoe National Forest… and came back with a story no one could believe.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana break down the jaw-dropping case of the Cisco Grove Encounter — where Shrum claims he was stalked by two alien beings and a humanoid robot, forcing him to spend the entire night in a tree, fighting for his life.

We explore the bizarre details of the encounter, from paralyzing gas to strange glowing eyes, and the robot that appeared out of the mist. Did Shrum really survive an off-world confrontation? Or was this the result of psychological trauma… or something else?

We weigh the facts, the aftermath, and whether this story belongs in the history of alien contact… or close encounters of a very human kind.

What happens when a Wyoming rancher claims aliens gave him a message… and he actually listens?

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana welcome guest David Ferrugio — host of the Dead Talks podcast — for an unforgettable conversation that blends UFOs, death, near-death experiences, and the question of what it all means.

We dive into the mysterious case of Pat McGuire, a rancher who claimed contact with alien entities, witnessed cattle mutilations, and received otherworldly guidance that shaped his view of life — and the afterlife.

Along the way, we tackle big questions:
Are aliens part of a spiritual continuum?
What happens when skeptics face death?
Do psychic mediums and extraterrestrials speak the same language?

It’s cosmic, human, and mostly true.

Oil rig workers off the coast of Tampico, Mexico, claim they saw not one—but two—UFOs hovering above the water. But that’s just the beginning. The region has long whispered about an underwater alien city called Amupac, said to protect the area from hurricanes and destruction.

In this episode, Neal and Andrew dig into eyewitness reports, dissect the photos, and examine the cultural lore around one of Mexico’s most persistent alien legends. Is this just folklore— or a masked truth we weren’t meant to find?

With new episodes every Wednesday, we explore the weirdest encounters and decide: is it Mostly True… or Mostly Not?

In 1980, a blinding light scorched the Texas sky—and left two women and a child with burns, radiation symptoms, and a lifetime of questions.

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the Cash-Landrum Incident, one of the most disturbing and well-documented UFO cases in American history. Did a military UFO nearly kill three innocent people? Why did the U.S. government deny everything—despite medical records, legal action, and a pattern of cover-ups?

Joining us is Raena Star, creator of the Uncle Schuschu Schumann Resonance channel, who brings her perspective on energy fields, telepathy, and whether humanity is finally ready to understand the extraterrestrial connection.

The Broad Haven Triangle – Wales' Strangest UFO Hotspot

A playground. A silver-suited figure. A craft in the trees.
In 1977, a group of schoolchildren in Broad Haven, Wales, reported seeing a UFO—and they weren’t the only ones. Over the next few weeks, sightings of strange lights, metallic beings, and hovering crafts swept across the region, catching the attention of military investigators and the British media.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the Broad Haven Triangle: a case packed with credible witnesses, chilling sketches, and a growing cloud of theories—ranging from extraterrestrial visitation to secret government experiments.

You’ll also hear about:

• William Shatner’s shocking UFO claim
• A UFO whistleblower now advising Congress
• And the growing push for full UAP disclosure

This is Episode 14—and we’re still asking:
 Was it real? Was it mass hysteria? Or was it mostly true?

Was it a hoax, a secret military test, or something not of this Earth?

Neal and Andrew walk through the chilling details of that eerie night, analyze the infamous Polaroid photos, and debate what may have really happened. As always, the story unravels in layers—between curiosity, skepticism, and genuine WTF energy.

MTAS Episode Summary: The Pascagoula Alien Abduction

Two men. One riverbank. Zero explanation. In this gripping episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we head to Pascagoula, Mississippi, where Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claimed they were abducted by otherworldly beings while fishing on an ordinary October night in 1973. What followed was a bizarre tale of paralysis, levitation, and strange robotic creatures that would launch one of the most chilling alien abduction cases in U.S. history.

Neal and Andrew unravel the eerie details of the encounter, play the haunting Hickson tapes, and explore how the incident became both a media storm and a cultural touchstone. Along the way, the episode dives into Alien News & Entertainment, including sightings in New York, updates from the Mars Rover, the mysterious Tic Tac UFOs, and a celebrity UFO experience from singer Kacy Musgraves. And in celebration of National Alien Abduction Day, we ask: Are we any closer to the truth—or just deeper in the mystery?

As always, we close with our verdict: Was the Pascagoula event a mostly true alien story, or just a well-timed fish tale that reeled in global attention?

MTAS Episode Summary: The Kelly-Hopkinsville Alien Shootout

In 1955, the Sutton family claimed their farmhouse was under siege by strange, glowing creatures—setting off one of the most infamous alien encounters in history. Were they visited by beings from another world, or was it an alcohol-fueled case of mass hysteria?

We break down the night’s events, the eerie details investigators uncovered, and the lingering debate over what really happened. Plus, in Alien News & Entertainment, we dive into health issues reported by Area 51 veterans, the latest government UFO disclosures, and why Galaxy Quest might be the most honest alien movie ever made.

The Buff Ledge Camp Alien Abduction – A Summer Camp Close Encounter

A quiet summer night. A peaceful lake. A UFO descending from the sky. What started as an ordinary evening at Buff Ledge Camp in 1968 turned into a terrifying case of missing time, telepathic beings, and memories so deeply buried they wouldn’t resurface for years.

Teen camp workers Michael Lapp and Janet Cornell were watching the sunset over Lake Champlain when a bright light appeared in the sky. Within moments, it split into multiple lights, descended over the water, and came straight for them. Their next memory? Coming to hours later—disoriented, confused, and with no explanation for what had happened.

Years later, under hypnosis, both Michael and Janet recovered memories of being taken aboard a craft, examined by humanoid beings with large black eyes, and subjected to strange experiments. Their stories matched perfectly, despite not speaking to each other for years.

Was this a genuine case of alien abduction, or was something else at play?

In this episode, we break down:

The events of that night and what Michael and Janet remembered under hypnosis.
The eerie similarities between Buff Ledge and other abduction cases.
Why this case remains one of the most compelling abduction stories in UFO history.

But that’s not all—we’re also covering:

Olivia Newton-John’s UFO encounter—Did the Grease star really see a spacecraft as a child?
The Pentagon’s investigation into Jake Barber’s claims of an egg-shaped UFO—Is there truth behind this bizarre sighting?
Our movie recommendation: A Quiet Place—What does a post-apocalyptic thriller have in common with alien lore?

So get ready for a classic abduction story filled with eerie details, lost time, and a mystery that’s never been fully explained.

Carl Higdon’s Alien Hunting Trip + Mick Jagger’s UFO Encounter & The Top Alien Tourist Destinations

Pack your rifles and leave your collarbones at the door—because this week’s episode of Mostly True Alien Stories takes us deep into the Wyoming wilderness for one of the strangest abduction stories ever told. In 1974, Carl Higdon set out for a solo hunting trip, but instead of bringing home an elk, he ended up on a transparent spaceship with a floating cube, a time-traveling alien named Ausso One, and a ration pill that filled him up like a five-course meal. Oh, and he may or may not have been medically upgraded along the way.

Did Carl Higdon actually hitch a ride through space-time, or was this just an exceptionally weird day in the woods? We break down every bizarre detail—missing time, impossible bullets, and interdimensional hunting mishaps—before deciding if this one is “Mostly True” or just… mostly something else.

But wait—there’s more!

Before we get to Carl’s extraterrestrial hunting trip, we’re covering the latest in alien news and government secrecy, plus:

🚀 Mick Jagger’s UFO Encounter – Did the Rolling Stones frontman really see an alien craft hovering over a concert in the ’60s? And why did it keep following him?

🌎 The Top Three Alien Hotspots for Tourists – Looking to book a vacation that might come with a side of close encounters? We break down the top destinations where you might just spot something unexplainable—whether the government wants you to or not.

👽 The latest in the “Are They Watching Us?” debate – What’s the real reason the U.S. government is suddenly talking about UAPs so much? Is disclosure coming, or is this all just another distraction?

So strap in, keep your hunting bullets in check, and let’s get into it.

What do schoolchildren, David Bowie, and government whistleblowers have in common? Apparently, aliens.

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we’re diving into one of the strangest, most compelling UFO encounters of all time—the Ariel School Incident. In 1994, over 60 kids in Zimbabwe claimed to have seen an alien craft land near their school, complete with big-eyed beings and telepathic messages. Were they all in on an elaborate prank, or did extraterrestrials just really want to drop some cryptic life lessons on a playground full of 10-year-olds?

And because we like to keep things intergalactic, we also explore President Jimmy Carter's deathbed confessions about extraterrestrials and David Bowie’s obsession with aliens (the man wasn’t just Ziggy Stardust—he was convinced ETs were vibing with us), chat about whistleblower Luis Elizondo’s fight to expose the government’s UFO secrets, and, of course, break down the must-watch alien movies and TV shows you need in your life.

It’s an episode packed with mystery, cosmic intrigue, and just enough existential dread to keep things spicy. So, tune in and join us as we separate the truly bizarre from the mostly true.
